Transportation convenience: Very convenient, just two traffic lights from the station.
Hotel location: City center.
Breakfast: Acceptable.
Cleanliness: The room wasn't cleaned on the second day. Cleaning fees might be higher, but it's fine if you clean it yourself. There's a pool available, but don't expect too much as it's not a standard pool.

Experience one of the best high-altitude views on the Sea of Japan side (highly recommended): All hotel rooms are located on the upper floors, from the 22nd to the 29th, offering incredibly expansive views. Whether you're looking down at the Shinano River estuary during the day, gazing at the Sea of Japan and Sado Island in the distance, or admiring the dazzling city lights and beautiful sunset of Niigata after dark, you can easily enjoy these unparalleled visual delights from the comfort of your room. Free Observation Deck on the Top Floor: The hotel features a free observation room on the 31st floor, allowing you to enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Niigata without having to purchase an additional ticket. This is a hidden gem and a major bonus for guests. Excellent Breakfast: The buffet breakfast combines Japanese and Western styles, offering a rich variety of dishes. You can also savor Niigata's famous and delicious Koshihikari rice and fresh local ingredients, and the made-to-order omelets are highly praised. Convenient Surroundings and Easy Access to Attractions: The hotel is adjacent to the Bandaijima Building and the Sado Kisen ferry terminal, making it extremely convenient if you plan to take a ferry to Sado Island. The "Bandaijima Fresh Fish Center (Pia Bandai)" is about a 10-minute walk away, where you can enjoy affordable and delicious local seafood.

The price is affordable, and it's right next to the station. At the front desk, you can help yourself to bath salts, candies, and sunscreen. The air conditioning was already on when I entered the room, which was a thoughtful touch. I recommend going early for breakfast, as the staff are slow to clear tables. There are two types of rice available for breakfast, along with curry sauce and raw egg. The breakfast was delicious.

pass area coverage:
Great coverage can use in Tokyo and Kyoto and outer areas
price:Pricing great if you make the most of Troon public transport.So just check if it would be worth it for your individual trips

Fast delivery. We received the exchange couple within few days. We went to Nagoya station to exchange the pass and also reserved our seats. We visited Gero, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Fukui, Tsuruga. We took JR train, express bus and Shinkansen train. Very worth it

This was a very satisfying trip. The tour guide and driver were both very thoughtful in their arrangements. We saw beautiful lavender fields and enjoyed lavender ice cream. The meals were great, and picking peaches was a lot of fun. The attractions and explanations were all excellent, and the car's air conditioning was strong, new, and clean.

We had an enjoyable day trip exploring the key highlights of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field. As the various art installations are scattered across the area and not easily accessible, this tour is recommended for those who would like to visit the art field but do not drive. Our guide, Shima-san, was knowledgeable and personable. She not only shared her knowledge about the art installations, she also shared interesting anecdotes about Niigata.

Quick facts about Niigata
General info
What to know before visiting Niigata
Quick snapshot of Niigata and what to expect
Niigata’s Klook bookings are led by tours and cultural experiences, giving the city a mix of guided day trips and local cultural activities throughout the year. Demand has a strong winter peak and a pronounced summertime trough, so the rhythm of the year swings between busy winter months and much quieter summer months.
Best times to visit based on demand and prices
Klook data shows demand peaks in February and is at its lowest in July (the busiest and quietest months from the booking data). Prices move differently from demand: past bookings indicate the priciest month on Klook was July while the cheapest typically appears in January. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for January or other shoulder months; if you want the peak-season atmosphere that comes with highest demand, visit in February. Note that summer demand is low even though July was historically the priciest month on Klook, so price and demand don’t always move in the same direction.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers tend to book Niigata experiences about five days ahead, so you can be fairly flexible when planning a short trip. If you’re travelling in February (the busiest month), consider locking in popular tours a few days earlier to secure your spot; for quieter months, you can comfortably book closer to your travel dates on Klook.
